      This is the Hollywood OG.
      But yeah I hope in a few days they'll turn amber.

        Look like solid little nugs, if you can keep temps cool enough during drying they should be tight as.

          Yeah I'm using a window AC unit in my bedroom now. Keeping the temp at 68f. And we are getting a new AC unit for central Air for our house on July 15th. Because our old one stopped working. So I will have two Ac units possibly going. I don't know yet. But yeah they look to be nice solid nugs they are super sticky.
          So I'll just have to wait and see.

            A little bit of light won't hurt them. If you can distinguish color it's too much light, if you can't it'll be fine. Think full moon and stars on a clear night. You can see fine to walk around but you cannot distinguish color....use that as the difference between dark enough or not.

              I think they are starting to turn amber.
              Like I can barely see some tips turning orange.
              Now this is what I'm looking for it to do ?

                And there might be some dog hair on it.
                I couldn't help because I'm not using a grow tent.
                I'm using a home made one out of two or 3 pieces of drywall for the walls , and a blanket over the top at night time. It's all I could really use at the time in my bedroom.

                Thanks, DW.
                And I bought a thermostat and dry curing bag and some humidity packs online from Amazon for the curing process.
                So I should be all set to dry and cure soon.
                I'll let everyone know how much I yield and the buds and everything.

                Okay today is Day 71 and it's been 8 days since the day it says 9 weeks.
                But it's going on 10 weeks and 1 day. How much longer until I see the Amber trichomes turning from milk white to the tips Amber? Should I just keep waiting, because all the fan leaves turning yellow and falling off now. So I'm just curious how much longer do you think until they turn Amber. Thanks
                They are almost all done.

                  Well that is a pretty bud!

                I’ve read the trichomes in some strains don’t turn amber. Do you see any clear trichomes or are they all cloudy? Cloudy is most potent. You can wait a while longer to see if you get any amber, shouldn’t be a problem. The leaves are falling off because the plant is using the stored energy in them.

                  Okay I know why the leaves are falling off.
                  And the clones I bought were from a Recreational dispensary called Cookies. So they might not be-come into Amber color.
                  I'll wait until Monday and if no change I'll cut them down and trim them then. Cause they are pretty much all like white and milky color.

                    If you are relying on the breeder's time frame, don't. Use it as a general bit of information, not canon. Just like the height, weight, and THC percent they give. The plant will tell you when it is ready.
                    For example, I've had 4 plants of the same strain go ginger 3 weeks apart. If you grow this strain again, you might hit the 9-week mark, or maybe even 8.

                      If the flowers are healthy you can keep them going. 10 weeks is not a long time for some strains.

                      Yeah they are pretty much health except for the big leaves and pretty much all of the have turned yellow and are starting to fall off. Other than that , doing really good. So I'll just keep them watered and light and cool temperatures for them until start to get amber. Amber is what I'm looking and waiting for. So alright cool.
                      Thanks for all the info also that everybody has given me here.
                      I learned a whole lot from everybody here that said something.
